I have had over 48 hours of very high winds and some rainstorms in New Mexico and SW Oklahoma. During this time I have had many CO (not propane) monitor warnings go on and then again an hour or so later.

This has never happen before the wind/rain storm while traveling for the past four weeks.

The wind is blowing so very hard on the frig side (frig on AC) that wind is entering the trailer via the frig above the frig door.

Any thoughts on what is going on?

This has been reported before. Your fridge wasn't running on propane? There's a theory that poor sealing around the fridge allows exhaust fumes from the fridge gas burner to blow into the trailer. (Either way, it seems problematic that wind can enter your cabin via the fridge compartment.)

I believe I have solved the CO monitor problem. Based on a suggestion I turned my Oliver completely around so the frig, water heater and furance vents are all on the wind leeward side. No CO monitor alarms since.

Regarding wind entering via the frig vent. I would appreciate feedback from all who read this whether this is normal on all other Oliver frigs when windy; please reply.

Thank-you.

There's a long discussion about it on this thread:

(Essentially, the Norcold fridge has a hole in a circuit board that lets air through.)
